Figured someone maybe interested they have a few Garands and M1 Carbines plus (2) Air Force Premium Grade National Match Rifles on auction. Out of my price point ,but they seem to be excited about them on the CMP Forum. Not sure if link is allowed if so I can add it.

Re: CMP Auction AFPG National Match
Would love to have one of these or a papered NM Garand but too rich for my blood

Re: CMP Auction AFPG National Match
I've supported The CMP for a few years with many purchases of Garands, Carbines, parts and accessories. A few years ago their auctions, although still high, were somewhat reasonable have (IMO) gotten pretty crazy lately 
. I do not fault the bidders and purchasers in fact it's their money to do as they please and the auctions are a great asset for The CMP and their mission but most auctions are a little rich for my blood anymore.
On the flip side if you are a collector and have a particular low production piece needed to add to your collection you can rest easy to the fact that it is what it says and not a fake. That alone may be worth the extra bucks for the piece of mind. I do not consider myself a collector but more of an accumulator. I do not purchase firearms to sit in my safe, I want to use mine. I've saw unissued H&R's go for North of $5K. To some that have the disposable income for that GREAT
but not in my wheel house nor most registered CMP customers. I very seldom check the auction site anymore but they do get some unusual, interesting and almost impossible to find product.
